WRITTEN AT Scn, JUNES, rt . h ! -'tis a tcirlut thing to be at sea ,. o ,nark the rude contention•of the wind, And the hoarse roaring waves — t o f ind one's self F e nt in a - all-built bark, an,4 one ttin. plank. The harrier 'twiz eternity andys. To lcfOk around, and sae no humanface, Save the devoted few , who sh are our fate ; . To see ourselves cut off - from social life, The centre of ten thousand circling waves ; • While the far-stretelfd horizon, closing round, Serns-ro exclude all commerce with mankind. And then the dull monotony of calms, When the still sea scarce heaves one languid wave; The sails inadive hang—the idle dog-vane Droops listless o'er the Sleepy vessel's side-- , The tediousteizing too of adverse winds ; When the tir'd eye no more the compass views To mark the vessel's course, but turns away . Dispirited and sad But what are these ..-! To that dread hour, when from the furious North . The unimprilltn'd winds come bursting forth,. • And tear the foaming deep : Onward they rush, ic - •! And, ere the Master's care can give command To hand the bursting sails, piecemeal they fly, 1. • • And strew the rav' , ing surge. The strong mast yields •; bike a bent twig that decks the school-boy's hand--; • r'l he vivid lightning wings the midnight void, And leaves a tenfold darkness. Downward comes, With hideous crash, the swift succeeding bolt 1 ‘vith added horror roars the thund'ring main, And echoes back the storm. But who cart paint .• The terror that appals the shudd'ring soul, • • When the tried pump proclaims a leak is sprung I r • -• Hope dies ineviry breast—the seaman's heart, Viat still has bid defiance to Despair, Now sinks within him Instinct only guides, • ior Reason flies its seat ! Now. Fear awakes , And holds his empire in the wretch's mind. .• Leath stalks his round, and, on the mountain waves, Poiles his threaening dart aloft in air : or, in the deep'ning valley, bends his bow; One universal horror whelms the scene. But courage, by experience sanaion'd, marks the thief; He looks around, and with a father's heart • Feels for his drooping crew; his soul alone Disdains to yield to tear ; the fate of all Hangs on his firmer mind; and slow aloft, Clear o'er the roaring storm,..his full-ton'd voice, Tliro' the uplifted trumpet, sheerly sounds, And banishes dismay; th" , inspirSiseatieta Shake off their fears, and mark Uis coot, commands. " Courage," he cries, " Des. , air al.me is death ! The leak is touni, one pump will kee4) her free; Up, quick, and furl tie •e ,-nalr of you, sails, st.na by .% our masts, : n leave the event to Heaven; The tempest cannot last, all will be well ! 13 it ur comfort: 0,., t..; , i, o'er. all, Nor can the winds, or waves, or awful death, -, Without his fiat, hurt a single hair !" eatre.

Extract of a Letter Irvin, Be:tumatis, t,o'h •Decem ber.—" Pam sorry to inform, you, that yesterday morning at day-break, a ship was citivenon shore at : Real Wharf (about 5 miles from hence) in a most vio lent gale of wind at N.E. and in about two hours went to pieces, and every person onboard perished. From some 'paper's that are. found,- she apeeats to be the Thomra, of Liverpool, R.

Mr. THOMAS UTTING then rose, and, addressing himself to the company present, said, they were well aware of the services which had been rendered , not only to themselves and to those of their absent'l friends, residing in the county ; but indeed to the agricultural interest throughout the kingdom, by the inces-ant exertions, by the persevering and maids' conduct, and, above all, by the judicious and truly honourable' demeanour of those Gentlemen who formed the private Committee. He (Mr; Utting) considered that the least those who were : there as sembled could tlo, wouldl be to perform that which . would, he A-as conscious, be a cheerful duty, to give • theii *hearty thanks to the Committee, and iliese fore he pr- posed their healths, which were drank With three times three. Slr THOMAS BREVoit rose, aid, in a very appro priate speech, sle drt ly detailing the circUrnstances t hat, had occurred, dent% the. conies's, in which the corn-growers had been engage s cl,-seitl, that ne, as well as those other Geneemen whe co-operated with hint, had no other of jest in s tew than the in terest of the community ; and considering, that be sides the illegality of the conduct of the merchants, their measures,were prejedicial to the.landed interest, and.conseuently to the oeople at large, for _ the rea - Soh., which, in the Coerts of leciw, had been amply slated; he was induced to accept the situation, of Chair Man, in that colinnatee, at the earnest selici tatiOil of the corm-growers, and it was to him great pleasure to find their exertions' had been crowned with success, and had obtaihed the approbation of the landed interes.t. • Sir THOMAS then, with that charm teristie liberality which, duttng the whole contest, has particularly noted his conduct, although dot losing'sight 'of the fortitcr in re,' still unititig - the suaviter in modo -gave the following sentiment • 4 , may the 'occurrences which occasioned the recent dis pute between the growers and buyers of corn, henceforth be buried in oblivion, and may the same harmony again prevail which hitherto . existed among then ." Ir. Fect.owis rose, aod-expreased the . ,Satne sen timents as those just delivered by the Chau - man."

'" Long gases and good tenants." " itlay our Citizens become Soldiers, when necessary ; and.nuay our Soldiers soon become Citi‘ens." The health of Mr. Thomas Uttiog, of Ashwell .. Thorpe, was proosed, and drank with three hearty Cheers ; and thanks given to that (ientlemah, to whose uncommon exertions in the first instance, in a great measure, was to be Attributed the success ful termination Ot the contest in which the land oc cupiers had bean engaged. Mr. UTTING, in an animated reply, returned his thanks for that mark of approbation which had been conferred on him by his friends. He observed, that be ever Was, and ever should continue, stedtastly attacmd to the Landed Interest, and .more partied *tarty to the interests of the community. He had been guided in his motives front a principle which told him it was his - duty to act as he had done . ; and to find his conduct bad merited apptobation, was a sufficient remuneration fur - his exertions, He then' proposed as a toast— . 44 May those, witcrvvould illegally deprive others of ilAi r just riots, ever IA defeated in their attempts." Which was drunk with great applause. The health of Mr. J. Howlett, of Hethersett, I (although - it had been drunk , with those of the" .. . committee,' of which that Gentleman is. a Mem iser), was. then proposed, because his strenuous exer tions had greatly aided in obtaining the first meeting of the corn-growers 5 and because his general conduct ever since bad proved him to be a true friend to the . farmer. This toast was drunk with great applause, as were oter sentiments and healths. We trust, that the sentiments expressed by this Aleetieg ,(again proffering that hand of friendship which has, in every instance, so liberally and nobly been held forth to the merchants), will be the means of cementing more closely those bonds of 2rivate friendship, which, for a little time, were torn asunder; and that the same confidence which before 'existed, and which ought "always to es..ist,'AletWeett the sellers and buyers of `corn, _will again be re-establish, d on an immovable basis. - . A conneEliort of a very extraordinary nature has within these feW day•-i come under the cegeizance of the Police : Some time yoaug Lady, pos 'sessing a very handsome :fort une,,, s 4eir e g on a visit in "Wales, - she wrote„(o her %brotire a. aster, Who re side' in London, in in tl she 'was about to leave Wales, and should come to London, but did not fix.any time when they' might expeEt her, ob . serving, they need not expert her till they, saw tier. However, two months ehiPsind ' , and they not' hearing from her, they to bti alarnied, leering she had altered her mind, and had done with the fa mily she was with to Ireland, at7d they had been lost in their passage; 'they, in consequence, wrote into Wales, to inquire atter her, and received for answer; that she had left Wales about two months past, with her uncle. She was, after much trou ble, traced to a lodging-house in the City, where she - was found living with her .uncle. All - the el torts of- the officer,- who assisted in disc Overing the parties, and all; the persuasion of their nearest rela tives could not induce them to separate. The Laity is only 26, and the uncle is a hoary-headed little man; of 60 years of age. He, i 3 also stated to be A married man, and to have a family of children. Mr. Wane, of Nottingham-street, undertook yes terday morning, for a bet of 100 guinea§,to go from his residence to the Town-hall, at Windsor, tWenty three miles, in three how - S. He started at eight o'CloCk in the morning from Nottingham street; and arrived at Hounslow, eleven miles, at twenty-five minutes past nine. The heaviness of the roads had fatigued him considerably, but he got on to within a m ile of Slough, when he resigned, having then thtee miles to perform irstwenty-four minutes. The odds were very much against the performance. AtsicDoTe.—An Ambassador who was sent from the Court of Persia Plenipotentiary to the CUurt of Delh!, was informed that, upon being intrbdueed in-, to the royal presence, he must,' according t.;) the cus tom of the Court otDelai, do a homage to t he reign ing monarch, by making, on his approa'ch towards the thrime, three bOidegys (obeisances, in which knees and forehead are, at the same time, iii Coptaa with the ground). 'The Arnbaisador being,'a man of much wit, learning, and 'politeness,' remonstrated agaißst the base proposal, and declared that it would be derogatstry 'to his 'own dignity, as well as the dig nity of the Court he had'the Honour to repreient, to condescend to an as of stich mean servility ;• but- at, the same time he expresSed his readiness to slieesi the King, at Delhi, the sathe Marks of respect he had been accustomed to •shelN' to his own sovereign.; The Cdurt of Delhi , at th is tim'e,: being apprehen sive-of a hostile visit from the mbre,"OWeiful Per skins, andiearful to give offence to their AmbasSa; dor, relaxed from its high pretensions; arid consen4 to receive him 'according - to . the custom of the Peisian Court. Howevet the co urtiershethought thernselves of an expedient which they . f . :arrciect would be natter ing ,to the vanity of their owif King, and, at the same time; would reduce the Persi'en•Antbassadoe to the necessity of iii Sotrie measure,; to the custom of the Court of Delhi. Resorting io 'that low cunning which Is so frequently met-with in the most splendid Courts, • they ordered . the'entrance of the Hall of Audience to be nearly closed tip, leav-` ing only sufficient height for a man to creep through upon his knees. •• • The day being arrived when the Persian was to be introduced' into the presence -- of the King of the World, for such, is the lofty title the Kings of Delhi haVe been 'aeetstomed td assume, the Ambassador approached , the great Hll. of Au dience, and perceiving the trick intended tt . be put . upon him, he coolly turned his back to the entrance, and kneeling down, "passed through the scanty type; ning \ with his sulf-doral exposed to the 'Reiyal Pres' Bence; then, raising himself from the ground, he. advanced towards the glitttering throne, with a dignified air,' whilst the . wretched courtiers around, were on their knees, with their foreheads in -the dust.
